Re: Gantz Live Action Films Confirmed for 2011

This is a rough translation found in one of Nino (Arashi) fan community.

Quote:

long and cold Kobe on site filming is safely over (mainly) Major team got back to Tokyo. And rest action team is one more day. At beginning we worried about the backache of leading role (Nino) didn’t relapse (Last year he walked on one's crutch.) I let him go on a spree of violence. It seems he played the goat a little (grin) in the consequence, we could take action scene more than we expected. The goal we expect is “action not like action” it’s not to show stylishly the set order of fighting scene. This is extemporaneous stormy serious battle without control. There’s wire action element but we show effectively without uncomfortable feeling. Action that is passionate and feels pain. Nothing about lukewarm action. This is quite difficult however nothing is special. At first we thought about using double stunt in mind of actors’ schedule and safety. At the end of the day actors themselves they did action. Usually stunt double does the cut that you can’t see the face. It’s easier for safety and filming efficiency. But this time it’s different. Sometime action man takes action but it seems their movement that they trained for long time is looked like “action play”. And there’s no emotion and character (I don’t blame them) if actors fight as acting however they mistake movement it’s not big deal. And it’s not cool that just strong action. For example there’s recovery from defeat. They fight for something that’s dramatic and cool. Last battle was such passionate like clash. I can’t write detail about each action so I'll leave the rest to your imagination (grin) after back Tokyo they continue to film. Good luck.

Lots of mistakes but its enough for us to know what to be expected of the action scenes.

Re: Gantz Live Action Films Confirmed for 2011

The main problem I was see with this movie is how they're gonna end it. After all, what are the odds that Gantz will be over by 2011 and that we'll have the ending so they can incorporate it into the movie? Unless, of course, they either separate it into a few movies or simply end it similarly to the anime.

I absolutely don't think they'll end it in a craptastic way like the anime. First the anime ending consist of freaking fillers. There was no Tae or Reika and they worked on a still on-going manga while this movie was announced with the manga almost complete. They'd be idiots if they fail to use the material laid out in front of them to figure out an original ending for Gantz part 2.

Yes, 2 movies. 1 due to be released in spring 2011 and another by the end of 2011.
Yes they can. As far as I know around 80-90% of the scenes without stunts for the first movie have been filmed. That leaves half of stunt scenes (Kobe filming finished) and audio tweaks to complete the raw filming of Gantz part 1. They'll work on the sfx until the release date. Filming for Gantz part 1 will end around late March. There is still no news about Gantz part 2 schedule but they'll probably start filming it in Autumn this year.

NEW: Donpei Tsuchihira will be playing a priest, probably the one in Buddha battle. Sorry, I'm not allowed to post his picture in the priest costume.

NEW2: According to IMDB, Natsuna's character name is Megumi Kishimoto. I must have missed reading about the name change. No more troublesome same-name.
